Mumph?

You know, I could have gone out yesterday and spent my hard-earned $2.63 on a whole mess of half price candy hearts. Do you have any idea how many half price Valentines candy hearts can be purchased with $2.63? But instead because I love you all SO much, I stopped by the Sal Army on the way home from work and found this little beauty. It's pop/rock/jazzy versions of classical music standards (most of which I recognize but can't name).  Though I know "Forgive Me, Beethoven" (my favorite cut on the album) is Chopin's Waltz in C# Minor:



 The album also contains that one Rachmaninoff piece Harpo plays in Night at the Opera when he demolishes the piano (unlike my classical music part of my brain, my Marx Bros. memory bank is intact) and the one that turned into Lovers Concerto by the Toys (which came out in 1965, a year before this album was released), but without words. Another great cut is Secret Service, a spy sendup of a Hungarian Dance by Brahms

So anyway.... this is a pretty clever little album, most of which works pretty darn well. for 49 cent s, a bargain indeed, mold damage nonwithstanding. A late valentines gift to you!
